Aptitude - Calendar - Discussion

Yes this answer is absolutely correct ! because if there is given questions like this, in which it is given difference of 365 days that is 1 year there is always a difference of 1 day but if there is a difference of 366 days that is a leap year it becomes a difference of 2 days.

Anybody please tell me how to find leap year?

Any given year is divisible by the number 4 is a leap year, pretty simple.

For e.g 2008/4 = 502 (NO REMAINDER).

2007/4 = 501.75 (REMAINDER).

Just do observe it's too simple.

Hi @Roji I can explain by your formula.

Day+Month code+(x-1990)+(x-1990)/4.

Step 1: First you should calculate the day for the first mentioned date.

i.e 4 for 6th march 2005.

[6+4+105+26=141/7 it should be Sunday since rem is 1].

But it was given Monday so it is shifted by one day.

Step 2: If you calculate for 6th mar' 2004 you will get Saturday.

So to get answer you should shift the obtained answer by one day. It works for all problems.

Answer is wrong. Its Saturday. Check in calendar. 2004 is leap year so odd days should be 2 not 1.

Guys even you can find through vedic maths.

I show you there are codes for solving calendar problems:

Months:

Jan (1) , feb (4) , mar (4) , apr (0) , may (2) , jun (5) , jul (0) , aug (3) , sep (6) , oct (1) , nov (4) , dec (6). Learn it through any trick.

Weeks:

Sun (1), mon (2), tues (3) fri (6), satur (0 or 7).

Start:

Check if condition: 6th march 2005.

Step : 6 (date) + 4 (march code) + 05 (year) + 05 (date) /4 = 6+4+5+1 = 16/7 = 2 odd days means (monday) but year is 20th century so, -1 is apply that's means 2 - 1 = 1 odd day which means sunday. But option said monday that's means add +1 means 1+1 = 2 odd days (monday).

Check then condition: 6th march 2004.

Step : 6 (date) + 4 (march code) + 04 (year) + 04 (year) /4 = 6+4+4+1 = 15/7 = 1 odd days means (sunday) but year is 20th century so, -1 is apply that's means 1-1 = 0 odd (saturday) but 2004 is leap year means again -1 that's means 6 odd (friday) but from if condition we add +1 at last according to question. It means we will +1 here also then 6 + 1 = 7 or 0 odd day means saturday.

All the best guys.

First all find actual day on 6th march 2004 that is Saturday.

Find day on 6th march 2005 that is Sunday in actual.

But they shift it by 1 day as Monday.

(So in your answer you should also shift it by one day).

Than it becomes Sunday.

@Amit pal has given the best and most simple explanation anyone can give here. Always remember this. Keep it simple!

Please tell me using year code month code short cut way.

Hey guys according to the calendar that day is a Saturday.
